Assessment

	Description	Qualification	Training and Learning Results
Tutored works	Whenever possible, the students will be divided in groups, to design, build and test an application for mobile devices. The result will be evaluated after the delivery, taking into account key aspects such as correction, quality, performance and functionalities of the developed application. Likewise, during the development of the project, professors will make a continuous follow-up of the design and the evolution of the implementation.	45	A2 A5	B8	C33 C34
Presentations / exhibitions	At the end of the course, each group of students has to present and defend in English the developed application for mobile devices. The defence has to include a practical demonstration of the use of the application.	10		B8	C33 C34
Multiple choice tests	After each master session, students will make a multiple choice test (in English) to evaluate the understanding of the presented topics.	20			C33
Practical tests, real task execution and / or simulated.	In each practice session students will demonstrate the proper functioning of the developments carried out during the session.	25	A2	B8	C33 C34

Other comments on the Evaluation
FIRST OPPORTUNITY Following the guidelines of the degree, two assessment systems will be offered to students attending this course: continuous assessment and final assessment. Before the end of the second week of the course, students must declare if they opt for the continuous assessment or the final assessment. Those who opt for the continuous evaluation system may not be listed as "not presented" if they make a delivery or an assessment test after the communication of their decision. Continuous assessment system Those students who opt for continuous assessment system must: Take a set of tests with multiple choice questions. These partial tests will be done at the end of each master session. These tests will account for 20 % of the overall grade of the course. Take a set of practical tests in the laboratory. These tests will be performed at the end of each practice session. These tests will account for 25 % of the overall grade of the course. Design, build and defend a mobile application (tutored work). This task will account for 55 % of the overall grade of the course. A 10 % is reserved for the presentation and defence of the developed mobile application. Though this task will be developed in groups (whenever possible), professors will make a continuous follow-up of the activities performed by each student of a group. If the performance of a student is not in line with the rest of his/her teammates, his/her expulsion of the group might be considered, or he or she might be assessed individually. The final grade of the course will be equal to the weighted arithmetic mean of the three indicated tasks. To pass the course the final grade must be greater or equal to five. Final assessment system Those students who opt for the final assessment system must: Take a final test with short answer or multiple choice questions (a 20 % of the overall grade of the course). Make and demonstrate the proper functioning of the practices in the laboratory (a 25 % of the overall grade of the course). Design, build and defend a mobile application (tutored work), individually or if it is possible in groups (a 55 % of the overall grade of the course, with a 10 % reserved for the presentation and defence of the developed mobile application). Deliver a dossier that includes all the details about the development of the practices in the laboratory and, especially, about the tutored work. The final grade of the course will be equal to the weighted arithmetic mean of the three indicated tasks, if the dossier is delivered, or zero otherwise. To pass the course the final grade must be greater or equal to five. SECOND OPPORTUNITY The course final exam will only be held for students who failed the course in the first opportunity. The assessment will consist in doing one, two or three of the following tasks, depending on the marks achieved in the equivalent tasks during the first opportunity: Make a final test with short answers or multiple choice questions (a 20 % of the overall grade of the course). Make and demonstrate the proper functioning of the practices in the laboratory (a 25 % of the overall grade of the course). Design, build and defend a mobile application (tutored work), individually or if it is possible in groups (a 55 % of the overall grade of the course, with a 10 % reserved for the presentation and defence of the developed mobile application). In addition, those who opt for the final assessment system should deliver a dossier that includes all the details about the development of the practices in the laboratory and, especially, about the tutored work. If the mark of any of the tasks in the first opportunity, equivalent to these, is greater or equal to five, the student can choose between keeping his/her marks of the first opportunity or repeating the assessments again. OTHER COMMENTS The obtained grades are only valid for the current academic year. Although the tutored work will be completed (if possible) in groups, the performance of each student in his or her group will be monitored continuously. In the case in which the performance of a member of the group wouldn't be adequate compared with the performance of his or her team mates, he or she could be excluded from the group and/or qualified individually. This criteria will be also apply to the presententaion of the developd application. The use of any material during the tests will have to be explicitly authorized. In case of detection of plagiarism in any of the tasks/tests done, the final grade will be "failed (0)" and the professors will communicate the incident to the head of the school to take the measures that they consider appropriate.
